Plant hydroponic-gene'd veggies if yer skeer't of "finding earth" w/plants. The upside-don bagged 'maters is a good idea. Let 'em swing from the davits, fer all I care 'Sides.. I never seen 'mater as deco a a funeral!

A can see a lime tree growing from the lazerette in my future.....
Scurvey, yanno. Gonna stock up on tonic, too. Fer my malaria...uh huh!

Herbs in a gimbaled or suspended pot in the galley may keep a boat wife happier. An orchid or two suspended under the Bimini also gives her something to think about besides your many faults. Get her a cat too.

Planters are nonsense except on a houseboat. But at least you won't have to fertilize and mow, fertilize and mow, fertilize and... recursion alert! a lawn nor cut the hedges.

LOL.. describes a few months of this past summer well..

This plant survived 55 mph winds, heeling max to 25 degrees, 8-10 foot waves and various thunderstorms and down pours. After about 1000 miles, plant died unceremoniously at home when my wife forgot to water it.

Hanging from the stern seat, dead leaves fell off without messing the boat. Safety strap helped keep it in place.

First, remember what happened to Captain Bligh when he put all those breadfruit plants aboard the Bounty.

Second, if you must, I offer this:

(1) Remove and do not replace antifouling bottom paint.
(2) Put boat in water.
(3) Wait.
(4) Soon, you may harvest not only some of the most nutritious & tasty vegetables in the world, but also tasty, low-fat protein-filled barnacles.

...of course, you won't be sailing *quite* as fast as you're used to, but if you were in a hurry, you wouldn't be on a boat anyway.
